I started back at university last week to begin studying for my Legal Practice Course and Masters. It was a pretty intense week -- I was there Monday to Friday, 9 until 5, so I was exhausted by the end of it. From now on however, I will just be attending Uni all day, just one day a week, so it shouldn't be as tough as my degree. So far the course has been really interesting, and I am enjoying it, so hopefully it will continue.
A few weeks ago I was asked by the Variety Club to appear on Sky News and talk about their Easy Riders Wheelchair programme. The Easy Riders programme helps fund much-needed wheelchairs for children under 18 years of age, so hopefully the interview helped raise awareness of the cause. I will post a video of the interview online as soon as I work out how to!
I was also contacted by the Backup Trust to appear in a video to help promote the good work which they do to help people with spinal cord injury. The Backup Trust have applied for a charitable grant from Deutsche Bank which will be worth £300,000 to them, and the video was intended to assist in their application. As highlighted in the video, spinal cord injury can happen to any person at any time, so anything which can be done to make the lives of those affected by it a little easier and more fun filled should be encouraged, so fingers crossed they get chosen for the grant
